该剧以19世纪50年代的澳大利亚为背景，讲述了查尔斯·狄更斯笔下著名的盗贼王子道奇的成人双重生活。道奇现在是一名外科医生，但他无法摆脱对犯罪的偏好。

犹大担心耶稣因为声望逐渐提高而受到消极影响，尽管自己深爱耶稣，他仍然觉得耶稣只是犯人，如果他带领的宗教活动影响过大，耶稣可能难以驾驭。一旦活动失控，不仅耶稣遭难，还会殃及他的追随者。他警告耶稣追随者，他们帮助穷人的初衷可能因为活动的过分暴力而遭到背弃。
追随者们没有听从他的警告，跟着耶稣去了耶路撒冷，耶稣告诉他们上帝已经安排了他们的命运，所以他们只需要平静的接受。巨大的工作压力让耶稣身心疲惫，马利亚为他按摩以消除疲惫，但犹大认为如果马利亚和耶稣之间萌发爱情，有悖于耶稣自己提出的信条，将来他会因此受到追随者的质疑。耶稣对犹大的指手画脚十分不满，他认为除非自己没有原罪，否则不能指责他人的过错。由于耶稣不能理解自己的苦心，犹大十分难过，他觉得没有人像他那样爱耶稣。同时，尽管耶稣提出自己的使命是帮助穷人，但是他表示没有资源帮助所有穷人，这个事实也让犹大十分沮丧。
耶路撒冷的犹太高层教士集会讨论耶稣活动的影响。此时耶稣的追随者已经成千上万，被罗马政府收买的犹太高层教士们发现追随者中竟然有大量犹太人，这些犹太人因为不满罗马统治而倒戈，他们意识到耶稣可能对罗马政权造成巨大威胁，从而导致没有跟随耶稣的犹太人遭受更大灾难，教士首领该亚法（Caiaphas）认为，消除这一威胁的唯一办法是杀死耶稣。
当耶稣和追随者来到耶路撒冷，遭遇该亚法的堵截，他要求耶稣一行离开这里。耶稣表示他们一定会与强权政府抗争到底。耶稣追随者西蒙建议他利用自己的影响力，组织一个反政府武装，与罗马抗衡。耶稣拒绝了他的提议，他认为追随者们不懂真正强大的力量其实不是武装斗争，战争也不是他的意图。
与此同时巴勒斯坦统治者彼拉多（Pilate）梦见耶稣被杀，而自己是罪魁祸首。耶稣来到耶路撒冷神庙，却发现那里充斥着武器、毒品交易和妓女，他十分愤怒的驱赶这些下三流人群，试图重塑神庙的庄严。随后他早于一群乞丐和流浪者，所有的人都等待着救世主，他们向耶稣祈求，因为他们听到传闻说它是救世主。耶稣感到自己无法解决所有人的问题，使自己的无能，他只能告诉群众们学会自救。他痛苦的晕倒在街头，马利亚前来安抚他。她深爱着耶稣，但是她知道耶稣与众不同，他有更伟大的使命，所以爱上他意味着牺牲和痛苦。
犹大对耶稣的状态十分担心，他相信如果他继续工作会崩溃，于是决定帮助教士阻止他。教士们要求他透露耶稣的藏身地，他们可以将其逮捕，他们将给犹大丰厚的奖赏。犹大对这种安排感到愧疚，但是当教士们告诉他可以把钱捐献给慈善组织后，他决定同意教士的计划，他相信如果耶稣跟随者进一步增加，将来耶稣失败后，将有更多无辜的人为他殉葬，于是犹大坚信应该尽快组织耶稣的活动。他告诉教士们耶稣的行踪。
耶稣和他的12个信徒共进晚餐，耶稣预感这将是他们最后的晚餐，他把酒和面包递给信徒，告诉他们应该记住这些是他的血和肉，但是他非常痛苦的意识到，自己死后没有人会记得他，同时他预感在座的人中有两个会背叛他，他指出彼得会出卖他三次。犹大向他坦白自己也会背叛他，耶稣听了病不生气，本可以将犹大就地处决的他决定放犹大走，但当犹大试图向他解释自己的动机时，耶稣却不想听他解释。
犹大愤怒的指责耶稣造成了现在的苦难，他随即决定带领罗马士兵逮捕耶稣。信徒们都入睡，耶稣开始质问上帝为什么他将死去，他的死对解救人民有什么意义。但是他知道自己无法与上帝抗衡，尽管他仍然不知道自己殉难的意义，他仍然决定听从上帝的安排。犹大带领罗马士兵赶到，他在耶稣被捕前，吻了他的脸颊。
信徒们被惊醒，他们试图和士兵抗争，但是耶稣表示他愿意去见该亚法，一位平民像记者一样采访耶稣接下来的计划，耶稣保持沉默。当该亚法质问耶稣是否自称上帝之子时，耶稣回答：“是你说我是上帝之子。“他随即被送到彼拉多的法庭。
彼得遇到一个老人，一位军人和一个女仆，他们表示看到过他和耶稣在一起，但是彼得表示自己不认识耶稣。这一切被马利亚看在眼里，她质问彼得为什么背叛耶稣，彼得解释这是自救的唯一办法。
耶稣被带到彼拉多面前，彼拉多同样问他是否是上帝之子，他给与同样的回答，彼拉多十分不满，但是他表示耶稣不归属自己的管辖区，于是将他送给希律王（King Herod）。希律王听说了耶稣的诸多事迹，很高兴能与他见面，但耶稣一直否认自己就是上帝之子，让他十分失望，他认为耶稣不过是个谎称救世主的骗子，根本不想浪费时间处决他，于是将他送还给彼拉多。
犹大看到耶稣酷刑折磨得不成人形，十分懊悔，他告诉教士们后悔自己的背叛，他意识到自己将永远被人唾骂为叛徒。该亚法说犹大解救了诸多无辜的人，是个英雄而不是叛徒。但犹大仍然清楚地意识到自己成了上帝计划的牺牲品，永远背负叛徒的罪名，他在诅咒上帝后自杀。
耶稣在新审判中一言不发不为自己辩护，彼拉多认为他精神失常，因此不应执行死刑。但是群众一再要求处决耶稣，彼拉多在群众的呼声下，在耶稣的沉默下不得不决定将他出借，钉死在十字架上。犹大的灵魂来看望耶稣，他质疑耶稣在上帝整个计划中的作用，耶稣在十字架上死去。

So F**king Rock is a 2 hour performance recorded at The Bloomsbury Theatre in London in 2008. Performing material from his "So Rock" and "Dark Side" albums, ranging from sharply critical, to lighthearted, to sweet, Minchin shows off his skills as a musician, comedian and social critic in this hilarious two hour live show.

The crafty Tim Minchin proved as reassuringly middle-class as the staunchest Prom aficionado could wish at his Comedy Prom.
